Masumlar Apartmanı is a psychological drama produced by OGM Pictures. It began on TRT 1 on September 15, 2020, ran for two seasons and ended on May 24, 2022, with its 71st episode. Onur Güvenatam created it, Deniz Madanoğlu, Rana Mamatlıoğlu and Ömer Gürkan Şimşek wrote it, and Çağrı Vila Lostuvalı and Çiğdem Bozali directed. The story draws on the "Çöp Apartman" chapter of Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu's 2004 book Madalyonun İçi. The apartment building seen on screen is the Temel Apartmanı in Beyoğlu.

The first season follows the four Derenoğlu siblings, who share a home in Istanbul, and the obsessions and childhood wounds that shape them. Han (Birkan Sokullu) is driven above all by the wish to protect his family. His sisters Safiye (Ezgi Mola) and Gülben (Merve Dizdar) behave obsessively, and the youngest, Neriman, is played by Gizem Katmer. İnci (Farah Zeynep Abdullah), a radio presenter, meets Han after an accident, marries him and moves into the family building. Uğur Uzunel plays Han's friend Esat and Esra Ruşan plays İnci's radio colleague Esra.

The second season takes place after İnci's death, with the residents struggling with new troubles. Memduh (Atilla Şendil) and Ege (Emir Özden) try to support one another. The series was nominated at the 47th Golden Butterfly and 25th Golden Objective awards.

Through different eyes

AI-assisted editorial takes written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader reviews; those are below.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

A family shaped by four siblings' obsessions and childhood wounds: the strength of the first season is that each sibling carries their own darkness. İnci marrying into the house gives an outsider's eye and lets the viewer in. The second season, which begins after the death of one of the central characters, is the series' test: keeping tempo and tension up across 71 episodes is hard, and the carrying may strain in season two. For anyone who likes psychological drama and character-led series, an impressive ensemble.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Drawing on a chapter of Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu's book, this psychological drama puts a closed space, a single apartment building and one family, at the center of its storytelling. That limited space offers creative possibilities in camera and staging, but also carries a risk of repetition. Translating psychological ideas like obsession and wound into television language is ambitious; the real question is whether it works without sliding into melodramatic exaggeration. The Golden Butterfly and Golden Objective nominations show the series took its aim seriously. Seventy-one episodes over two seasons test how fresh the closed space can keep the story, and the second season's new troubles are decisive in that test.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Siblings under one roof, a woman who joins the family through marriage and the residents of the building: the series puts family relationships under the lens. Through childhood wounds and obsessions it suggests that family ties can be both protective and stifling. In the second season, residents struggling with new troubles after a loss lean on one another, turning to a theme of solidarity. The subject is heavy and not for those who dislike psychological drama. Of interest to anyone wanting to question the inner world of the family.
